The Stardew guy spent five years not working, living off of the labor of his girlfriend.

Sure, take your shot, but it is unreasonable to think that many people have the opportunity to drop everything for a five year vision quest, hoping to come out the other side a financial success.

That’s true, but most people will still miss all those kinds of shots.

If you can take the chance and want to, do it. I just recommend having a backup plan.
